Thanks to Negar Mottehedeh, and via a post from Enduring America, here are two videos from a January 6th game between Iran and Singapore, during which Iranian fans chanted anti-government slogans "Ya Hossein, Mir Hossein," in support of opposition leader Mousavi in the 1st video, and "Marg Bar Dictator," ("Down with the Dictator,") in the second.

Injury time, Anfield Road end, penalty kick. But while seven days ago it nudged Rafael Benitez and Liverpool towards the precipice, last night the same scenario gave confirmation they are not willing to surrender their campaign without a fight.
Last week's FA Cup exit to Reading, followed by the dramatic but damaging draw with Stoke City, had prompted the Anfield manager to admit their clash with Tottenham Hotspur represented a make-or-break encounter in his team's season.

Paul Scholes strike leveled this pulsating Carling Cup tie and gave the Old Trafford side the advantage on away goals. Manchester United were good value for their lead and they had Shay Given at full stretch on a number of occasions.

A Michael Carrick shot from six yards appeared to seal the victory with a quarter of an hour remaining but a Carlos Tevez strike appeared to taking the tie to extra time but a goal from Wayne Rooney in injury time gave United the win.

Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman has extended the loan of Liverpool's highly-rated goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis until January 30.
The Australian born stopper joined the League Two side in November as an emergency signing following a knee injury to regular number one Ian Dunbavin.
Bouzanis has appeared in five games for the Reds and is sure to be handed a starting berth by Coleman when he takes his side to Lincoln on Saturday.

Luis Fabiano of Sevilla was not a terrible player by any means last season. In fact his squad finished with top four results and was rewarded a Champions League berth this season. And Fabiano didn't play terribly either. In 21 starts the Brazilian scored eight goals and was among the best offensive performers on his third place squad.

With the weather, the postponements, etc it's not worth sacrificing points to make changes this week your transfers in may well not even play. Yes I'm looking at you -4 points Chris Baird... So, we've only one selection for you today, but it's a good one...

And it is...

Abou Diaby has already played a pivotal role for Arsenal this season, pulling out a couple of big performances and high scoring gameweeks.

Monterrey take final InterLiga berth Sunday in the nightcap at Home Depot Center.

The early dud game.

Liverpool forward Fernando Torres insists the best is still to come from the under-performing Reds.
The 25-year-old Spanish star has been frustrated by injury so far this season, although his goals-to-games ratio in the Premier League is still outstanding.
Torres has netted 12 times in 14 league starts in what has been a poor campaign for Rafa Benitez's side, who currently lie seventh in the table.

safe hands?

Today it has come to light that we have had a bid rejected for Manchester United shotstopper Ben Foster. Whilst this is certainly one of the more prudent moves that has been mooted this window, completion of the move would cast into speculation the respective futures of our current keepers.

Working out how best to combine his forwards may prove a headache for Claudio Ranieri, but he's unlikely to be complaining.
Luca Toni begins to repay Totti's faith as Roma eye Champions League berth.

After deliberating for nearly two months, FIFA announced on Monday that French striker Thierry Henry will not be handed down any disciplinary action for his blatant hand ball that effectively secured France a berth in this summer's World Cup.... Read more

Marius Stankevicius will join Sevilla for the rest of the season on a temporary mid-season loan from Italian Serie A squad Sampdoria. Stankevicius is expected to dress out this weekend for his new club. And the twenty eight year old joins a squad that has struggled recently and look to bounce back this weekend against a beatable opponent in Almeria.
